What Students Say

"IIFM
has been the
foundation on which I have built my
career and an everlasting bond and some great
friends. The environs of the institute provided the solitude
and companionship- at the same time- to learn, play and work in
teams. The exposure that 18 months at the institute provided has guided me
and helped me with my work over the last 19 years. It continues to be a space that I
would like to go back to.”

“IIFM has been an enriching and
engrossing two years for me. The
experienced faculty, well designed
curriculum, unique pedagogy ,
familial culture and a great learning
environment at IIFM were the
ingredients of a strong foundation
for a management career .”

-- Neelima Mishra (PFM 2013)(Odisha Livelihoods Mission

for students to apply academic knowledge to real time management problems.
A 21-day-long field trip in first year and 15-day-long field trip in second year are
conducted during the programme to provide hands-on ground experience. Guest
lectures provide students with a chance to interact with representatives of the
corporate world and learn about the latest management practices.

lectures, frequent interactions with alumni and other industry experts have attracted
